Lost Poem by Kevin Lynch

What did I do, to deserve this from you?
With your hair so soft and your eyes tinted blue.
Your delicate skin and your supple smile,
I haven't seen you in ages...It's been a while.
Will you forgive me, if I did something wrong,
Cause I'll say I'm sorry is we can get along.
Was it something I said, or something I did?
Did I tell you something that I should have hid?

Or is it just me, that's the problem you see,
Am I not good enough or am I not free,
To be desirable in your deep twisting eyes,
Such beauty and lore within them lies.
I didn't cheat on you, if that's what you think,
Do you believe that I did? Is that the missing link?
What did I do? Please, tell me my fault,
It must have been me to bring us to a halt...

Or did you do wrong? I can forgive and forget,
What happened cause all of a sudden you regret...
Was I stealing you from your former life?
Or is there some unknown bitter strife?
You can talk to me about it, you know I can,
We both know here that I'm an understanding man.
Keeping things locked up, is not the way to go,
At least tell me about it, so I can finally know.

I don't know what it is, please tell and explain,
Cause it seems to be driving me slowly insane,
Did I somehow trick you, into what we had?
Did I do something that you thought was bad?
The questions whirl, within my puzzled mind,
And any request for answers, by you, is declined.
I know not the reason, I'm sorry to say,
Why you all of a sudden, became this way.

If you just want time, then ask and you're receive,
Then maybe something better we can achieve?
: Does not need to be this way I believe...

Do I not make you happy? Am I no good?
I just want you to be happy... I feel misunderstood...
No communication between isn't a way to go,
At least tell me something so I can simply know...

I spend all day and night, thinking about this current blight.

Life... It's so much better with you by my side,
Oh, was it not good? Before it all died?
Vigil? I shall... If that's how it's to be,
Every night I will stay awake, just to wait and see.

You will answer me eventually, I can only hope so...
Obey? I shall, just give me a command and I'll do...
Unaffectionate I will not become however. That's a truth I know.


I don't know what I should say or what I should try,
I don't know if I should laugh, mourn, ask why or cry...
So I will cease most of my attempts to get you to talk,
And instead I'll wait will beside one another we again walk,
When you'll actually come out, to meet me and say 'Hi',
When I can hug you tightly again, to say goodbye,
But until then, I will wait and see...
Because you mean so god damn much to me.
